Despite his appointment as the new Chief Imam, Sheikh Nuru Khalid will not lead tomorrow’s Juma’at (Friday) congregational prayer in the new mosque
The former Imam of Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja, popularly known as Digital Imam said the reasons were beyond his control.
Sheikh Khalid dropped the hint on Thursday, saying also that he has suspended speaking to the media until after the Ramadan fast.
This is contrary to the information that went round earlier in the week that the Imam had gotten another appointment and will resume Jumm’at sermons this Friday.
“This was a decision I made this morning and I won’t compromise it,” he said.
He said he will just keep doing Ramadan Tafsir in the Mosque in front of his house, for now.
It would be recalled that the Imam was suspended and subsequently sacked by the resident committee of Apo Mosque over an anti-government sermon he delivered on the Kaduna-Abuja train attack that claimed about seven lives and got 21 persons kidnapped.
